<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Associate Chair of the UWaterloo's Theatre and Performance Program, Andy Houston hosts a discussion with the Stratford Festival's Artistic Director, Antoni Cimolino.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Antoni Cimolino is from Sudbury, Ontario and holds an MFA from the University of Windsor. He began his theatre career in Stratford, Ontario as an actor in the late 1980s. He then focussed his efforts on directing, and
moved up to executive roles at the Stratford Festival. He became the Artistic Director in 2013. Cimolino has contributed significantly to the Stratford Festival in terms of fundraising and construction initiatives. Most recently, he campaigned to build the
new, multimillion dollar Tom Patterson Theatre.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Professor Houston is interested in exploring the process of Cimolino’s evolution to the roles of director and artistic director; also, what he believes the future of directing looks like in Canada, especially concerning
young and up-and-coming theatre professionals. He also wants to discuss the topic of leadership during a time when the representation of marginalized groups is becoming more valued and sought after.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Theatre and Performance Program welcomes all students, staff and intrigued members of the public to attend this talk, in the Theatre of the Arts (located in the Modern Languages building) There will be 30 minutes
of discussion between our presenters and then an open discussion with the audience, facilitated by Professor Houston. Following the discussion, please join us for a reception with refreshments in the ML Gallery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
